Select Increments Versa-Pods - Manual

PLACEMENT: There are several excellent places in your vehicle to install this pair of Versa-Pods. Because placement of the pods will
vary from one customer to the next, we don’t pre-drill the 7/16” holes for the speaker wires to exit the pods. When you have
decided where you are going to install the pods, You can determine exactly where on the pods you wish to drill the 7/16” holes (one
hole per pod) for the grommets that are included with your purchase. The tiny space around the wires as they pass through the
grommet on each pod should be filled in with a glue gun or a similar medium to fully seal the pod chambers so no air escapes.
ATTACHMENT: As for affixing the pods to the vehicle, this also will vary depending on where they are placed. Included are four self-
tapping screws, two per pod. In some cases you may be able to run the self taps through the plastic on the inside bottom of the
pods and into the body of the vehicle before the speakers are installed. In other cases, Velcro® may be the better choice as the
hooked side of Velcro® can grip and hold the carpet. Double-sided tape is another option. Lock-Tite® Powergrab caulk, although
more permanent, is another option if you are affixing to the metal body or plastic and is available at just about any hardware store
for $3-4 dollars. All of these mediums will adhere best to the plastic of the pod if you first clean the area in the vehicle and the
necessary part of the pod with rubbing alcohol. Depending on the install, you may even be able to run the second self-tap toward
the rear of the pod, especially if where you drill the 7/16” hole on the pod for the wire-lead allows access through the newly drilled
7/16”hole with a drill and extension bit to affix the self-tap screw. (This is probably a rare scenario.) If you choose to add additional
screws (holes) on the pod to hold it in place, be sure that they are sealed so that no air escapes the pod to get the best sound
possible. There really are quite a few options here and you can always call us if you have any questions…we’d be happy to help.
Installing Versa-Pods on each side of a TJ Wrangler factory console: As many customers who purchase Versa-Pods have Jeeps, we
have to cover this! This is one of our favorite places for install and gives you some nice frontal imaging. For this particular install, it
may be helpful to have another person to help. If someone is sitting in the front seats while you install each pod, they can tell you if
the speaker is directed right at their ears. You’ll notice that the long, sweeping curved side of the pods should be facing the floor of
the Jeep for the best fitment with this particular install. Probably the best way to install the pods here is to use one or two self-tap
screws (provided) per pod. Run the screw(s) through the flat bottom of the pod just behind the speaker hole and into the side of
your console plastic once you have the pod positioned exactly where you want it. The interior of your factory console is primarily
hollow and nothing interferes with the screws entering the hollow area in this install. Be careful not to over tighten and lose your
newly created threads on the plastic. The lower curved portion of the pod can be affixed to the carpet with a little piece of Velcro®
to help hold the pod in place, particularly if you only use one screw per pod as this will keep the pod from tilting over time. Rubbing
alcohol should be used to clean the area of the pod where the adhesive back of the Velcro® will be placed to ensure a good bond. If
you are not using your factory dash speakers, you can run those speaker wires to the Versa-Pods for use. If you are still using your
dash speakers, you can run their speaker wires in series to the Versa-Pods. Attach the positive side of a household 9volt battery to
one of the factory dash speaker wires. When the cone pushes outward, you have the positive factory wire. Just give us a call if you
have any questions.  If you purchased the Versa-Pod with the Power Acoustik® speakers included: It’s recommended, for best
appearance, that the speakers are mounted with the tweeter wires below at about the 4 and 7 o’clock position. Then turn the grille
until the holes line up for the screws and the tri-axial plastic hides the tweeter wires.
